Org Tries Exempt Status Multiple Choice – IRS Answers None Of The Above
It would seem that the N company could just sponsor this program with the dealers kicking in or not. Certainly having all those foremen get together to swap war stories and best practices would be good for the brand. Whatever was spent would be an ordinary and necessary business expense. The new IRS Commissioner is going to greatly streamline the exempt application process, which is a good thing in some ways, because the IRS should focus on collecting taxes. On the other hand, you should keep in mind that exempt status should add absolutely nothing to an organization’s credibility. If the organization implies otherwise, kick your bs detector into high gear.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
